Advanced Learning Techniques for Structured Data. KU Leuven
The aim of this project is to develop and analyze advanced learning strategies suitable for the analysis of structured data, such as: multivariate time-series, networks, dynamical systems and spectral images. The focus is especially on those problems where observational data consist of a limited number of high dimensional signals, often with low signal-to-noise ratio. A) A first goal is to further develop and analyze a systematic kernel-based ...
Development and application of reactivity force field for multiscale study of nanomaterials based on boron element. KU Leuven
Although molecular dynamics simulations are important techniques in theoretical studies of materials, no reliable force fields are actually available for treatment of the clusters of the elements. Our main objective is therefore to develop a set of highly accurate reactivity force fields and to apply them to multiscale studies of nanomaterials based on boron. The nanomaterials considered include medium and large-size atomic clusters and ...
Unraveling local structure and magnetic order in lowdimensional ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic semiconductors. KU Leuven
For decades, electronics have essentially exploited the charge of electrons. By exploiting the additional spin degree of freedom, spin-electronics (or spintronics) promises a new generation of devices with the advantages of non-volatility and higher processing speed, integration density and power efficiency. A crucial step towards the full exploitation of the potential of spintronics lies in the discovery of magnetic semiconductors ...
